Audit trail generation for order and supply chain events

Purpose

1.1. Ensure every order, inventory movement, shipment, and return event in the supply chain is logged automatically, providing regulators, auditors, and internal teams a verifiable, timestamped record.
1.2. Enable granular tracking to detect anomalies, ensure contract compliance, resolve disputes, and maintain transparency for agrochemicals handling and distribution.
1.3. Support multi-point audit requirements (e.g., import/export controls, hazardous materials traceability) relevant to agrochemical wholesale.
1.4. Facilitate quick and reliable generation of compliance reports for internal and external audits.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. New order created in ERP, CRM, or e-commerce system.
2.2. Inventory status update, including inbound receipt, outbound shipment, and returns.
2.3. Shipment status changes, such as dispatch, in-transit, delivery, or cancellation.
2.4. Manual edits or overrides in any order or shipment record.
2.5. External system notifications (e.g., regulatory portals, customs clearance).
2.6. Electronic signature events on compliance documents.
